- Rated 5 out of 5by Andy Turfer, 14 days agoWorks great with Firefox on Arch Linux. You do, however, have to download a helper (firefox-profile-switcher-connector-bin) from the AUR, but it's well worth it. The instructions are clearly explained after you install this plugin (in the "Complete Setup"). You also have to apply a workaround to get the connector working (something that isn't well documented):
1. Create ~/.config/firefoxprofileswitcher/config.json
2. Add to this file: {"browser_binary": "/usr/bin/firefox"}
Would be good if this extra "hidden" step (workaround) was not needed.
BTW - it's not the devs fault that this extra step is required - it's because of changes to Firefox. It's much easier using this plugin instead of opening a new tab and then entering "about:profiles" in the address bar and then selecting the profile you want to switch to. - Rated 5 out of 5by Matthias Janßen, 3 months agoWorks nicely after applying workaround as found in the GitHub repo (Issue 106)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15196385, a year agoWhen the add-on was working, it was ★★★★★. Now it no longer switches when I select a profile. I have to deal with it by starting with "firefox.exe -p" like in the old days.
I then switched to a derivative browser with built-in profile switching. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17922925, a year ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Scarlet, a year agoCurrently down, but olivrrstray in the reviews has a fix for windows that was easy to follow, and when working properly it's fantastic, very easy to use and i love having multiple profiles available
